Newbie Question

Machiavelli · 05-17-2005, 03:37 AM

Hi guys,

I am a newbie in an online league. My roster is due tomorrow at 6 PM. I was wondering what exact file do I have to send the commisioner. I do not want to ask the commish and sound like a complete newbie, eventhough that is what I am.

Also, right now the league is in the off season, at least it was in the latest league file that I downloaded. So right now I believe the GMs are making offers to FAs. I made an offer to a FA. Do I have to do anything now? There are options such as "Export Team Offers" and "Export Team Offers via FTP". Do I have to use either of those?

Thank you for your help.

Export your team offer via ftp.

In the regular season you export your roster via ftp from the team setup screen

As opposed to the post season?

But Jonzard is right. Team roster screen. Export via ftp.

Unless a particular league states it....

you go to your team...than select "team setup", than select export via FTP.

Another thing about that screen....it should be password protected (so just anyone can't export from that screen). If it doesn't prompt you for a password....before you click export via FTP...assign one...and don't forget it. If the team setup screen prompts you for a password, and you don't know it, contact your commish and tell him you either need your password or to please reset your password.

Now for roster/lineup changes, no matter if its post-season, regular season, or off-season...you always go to team setup after you've made your changes to and export via FTP.

For Spring Training...you set your spring training plan from the Spring Training screen (will appear in the offseason) and when done...select export team spring training plan via FTP.

For off-season Free Agents...select the free agents screen...select your team...than input your bids...once your done...than export your offers via ftp.

But don't forget to pick your team in the FA section before you hit ftp team export.

As opposed to the offseason where you may need to export your offers in the free agent screen.
